Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2163678, member: 8028"] This, undoubtedly, is the key line. This is how nice-guy-Kevin-Ollie expresses, with decorum, the thought that, "I brought these guys in based on talent and ranking, but I failed to take into account that their fundamental approach to the game did not fit the going-to-war mentality that me and a a massive pantheon of former players - and the remaining current players - have all held as dear. Lesson learned. Will not make that mistake again." I take it to mean that VJ, Enoch, and Durham never bought in to the system, and Ollie, retrospectively, knows that their failure to make said purchase may have been predictable. Fact is, he's a great recruiter. Fact also is, he's very, very new at it. How many years did Calhoun toil at Northeastern in relative obscurity honing his recruiting talents? I'm very much looking forward to next season. I was on campus when JC arrived. watching Phil and Cliff start the engine on the Juggernaut was thrilling. The bright side here is that we could well be looking at a similar course for Ollie. [/QUOTE]
